Hacking Can you access the filepath on the SD card via the browser?

[MadBob]

In windows you access a file from the browser using e.g. file:///C:/Users/<USERNAME>/Desktop/readme.txt

is there a similar way of reading a text files from the 3DS SD card
e.g.
sdmc/dcim/readme.txt

I am trying different path combinations but it is prodding around in the dark.

I would like to keep a text list of the flash card contents to make navigation easier, I have tried several text file readers and they aren't what I want.

Ah ah! You can't do that on the 3ds.

There has been a homebrew app I know that made by same developer who created CHMM, by Rei... Don't exactly remember the name. It's a simple file manager that allows opening of files of most known formats. I'm sure it allows viewing text files but can't confirm if it allows editing.

Yep, it looks more polished now! Been a long while since I used it. Nice useful homebrew.

OK thanks, easiest way i can find is to upload to dropbox and read from there when I have wifi (or tethering).

I also tried N_O_T_I_C_3_D which had a minor glitch at the start of the file text, and only scrolls click by click but was the nearest to what i want.
